Ayla Brown to Obama: Game On
EmailABC News’ Devin Dwyer reports:
It seems freshman Republican Sen. Scott Brown’s challenge to President Obama for a friendly game of two-on-two basketball still stands – and now with the goal of raising money for charity.
Ayla Brown, the senator’s daughter and Boston College basketball star, says she and her dad are serious about a game of hoops with the president and believe it could help raise awareness for earthquake relief in Haiti.
“I think it’d be really fun… maybe put a basketball court in the White House somewhere…. I was thinking why not charge admission — it’d be a really good game knowing me and my dad, we’re very competitive — and give all the proceeds to Haiti,” she in an appearance on ABC News NOW.
Following his upset electoral victory last month,Sen. Brown told supporters he spoke with Obama and said, “Mr. President, I know you like basketball, so I tell you what, how about you pick your best player, I’ll take Ayla and we’ll take you on two-on-two.”
No word yet from the White House on the so-called “basketball summit.”
Ayla Brown also told ABC that she spent Valentine’s Day with her teammates despite her father’s now infamous public disclaimer at a victory rally that his daughters are “both available.”
“He definitely made that statement of me being ‘available’ and we just laughed about it afterwards – we’re like what were you thinking? I didn’t realize how big of a thing it was going to be,” she said with a chuckle.

why is this girl so intent on playing basketball with Obama a 48 year old man she’s never met??? And her father too. They are strange. No way would I want my father to be pushing me to play basketball with somebody I don’t even know if I was 21 years old! It’s like he’s pimping her out again! Tryna hook her up Dad??? You’d think she’d want to play with people her age. very strange.
Obama is not as dumb as you think he is Scott Brown. Why you always offering your daughter to men?

I can see it’s the same ol, same ol on the blogs. Yammering about who’s better! About basketball no less!

This is tedious. Obama has better things to do than play basketball with every ambitious politician and his obnoxious offspring.

jjj: If you don’t believe in global warming you might as well believe the earth is flat. Grow a brain and check the facts carbon levels are off the charts and from tests on ice that show the composition of the air trapped in ice like a tree ring we can look back in time and see that it started at the exact time of the industrial revolution… which was the beginning of humans ability to effect the environment. The levels are unlike anything the earth has ever seen before and the ice is melting fact. Sounds like a risk I dont want to take. Id rather create a new sector of the economy with green jobs and get this country working again. If you want to stay ignorant thats your right but at least check the facts and not fox news.

The President has already put a basketball court at the WHITE House. Since he is the HARDEST working President I’ve seen in my 59 years, he won’t have time. Has to fix the Messes of the Republicans, while they participates in “trivial beauty contests” without caring about the future of our country and their citizens. Has to fix Healthcare, because it’s a Right! (After you’re born TOO) Has to fix the Financial Systems that has led us to the Brink (they robbed it, and fooled the people with distractions for 8 years, ex: Wars, Fear/Terrorist) And too busy “taking out” high ranking Terrorist Leaders (instead of hollering “they’re coming!) And after all this, I’m sure He will Spend the remainer of his time with his little girls teaching them the History of the United States and ways to help make it geater in turns of issues far greater than a “pick game of basketball” .

“Teaching his daughters history of the US? Don’t make me laugh, he thinks the US has 57 states!!! No, he will play bball, he may not play the Browns for fear of losing, but he plays more than works, that’s why the US is in the shape they are………

Stop playing games with my life!!!!!!!!!, Miss Brown. We are suffering with no food, no money, exsisting not living. Your out there playing games. Yes, you would make a great politician, cause all you do is play games while the rest of us are dieing trying to survive. Why don’t you forget about yourself and help us.

to Lyineyes-what’s idiotic about the truth??? This man just got elected and all he talks about is stuff that’ll get him or his daughters photo ops or write ups in entertainment columns. What is he going to as a senator??? Why is he pimping his 21 year old daughter anyway??? Does he think she’s so special that the president is gonna DROP everything he’s doing to play basketball with her even though he’s wrestling w/2 wars, a terrible economy, health reform the list goes on and on. Oh yeah I forgot-Ayla Browon is all that and Obama’s been waiting all his life for the chance to play with her. You’d think they’d have gotten the hint by now that he isn’t game for this-he hasn’t responded yet. Obama doesn’t have time to play with Ayla over everybody Mr. Brown even if you think he should be flattered you suggested it. What kind of father IS THIS MAN????

What the hell? These days of instant fame sure does produce odd things. Why is this an article?

This junk is all over the net-Huffington Post, Politico and they wonder why people hate government! read my lips Mr. Brown-you didnt’ get elected to pimp your daughter to the President or to spend time in attention getting stunts like this! You’re SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING. And if Obama is as smart as I think he is-HE’LL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS STUNT. Now they think if they add this Haiti fundraising stunt Obama’ll relent-listen THE PRESIDENT CAN’T FUNDRAISE. But you’d know that Mr.Scott if you spent your time reading the laws you’re supposed to be involved in instead of whoring yourself out to TV shows, book contracts, magazine articles etc. What an unprincipled man he is! Can you see Obama in eight yrs even thinking about offering Malia to the Prez at that time 4 a game of basketball?? Even if he thought about it Michelle WOULD KILL HIM. Where’s this girl’s mama????

E, Odumba has no choice but to deal with Mr Brown…….he’s the one who “the people” voted in! I mean the people that “thought” about who they were voting for, not just because it was “historical”. Oh, and by the way, “we” don’t pimp our daughters, think you have something mixed up!
